The most reliable indicator of how corn futures will settle on any given day the past couple months has been an increase or decrease in the number of rain days for the Western Corn Belt as posted on our daily Rain Days Update chart. It is next to the last line at the bottom of this mailing.
Karen Braun put these numbers together:
"In 2015, Iowa beat its record corn yield by 11 bushels. In 2016, yield bested 2015 by another 11 bu. Yield in 2024 hit 211 bu/acre, up 7 bushels from 2021's record high. Iowa corn health this year is the best for July since 1994. Another yield leap coming in 2025?"
Brazil’s total grain harvest for this marketing year is estimated to reach 339.6 million mts, a 14% increase over last year. CONAB said strong growth in demand, mainly for ethanol, should absorb the increase in corn supplies as domestic consumption reaches 90 million mts. Exports may decline slightly amid increased international competition.
